Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission
Medical Residency Placement Service
The Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission (SACM), in partnership with the Academy for Educational Development, a Washington, DC-based nonprofit organization, has established a direct placement service for eligible Saudi Arabian medical doctors. This program will provide strong clinical experience, as well as exposure to the U.S. medical system, at U.S. university teaching hospitals across the United States. Residents can expect to train, with their American colleagues, in medical centers with excellent reputations for medical education, research, diagnosis and treatment.
Saudi doctors interested in registering for this placement service must meet all eligibility requirements for residency training as outlined in the ACGME's "Graduate Medical Education Directory." This includes, but is not limited to, certification by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). Residents will be eligible for assignments for a period of no less than one year.
Eligibility Requirements to register for this service:
• Applicants must be financially sponsored by the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission;
• Applicants must hold a currently valid certificate issued by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) and be licensed to practice medicine in the United States, meeting all eligibility requirements;
• Applicants must have excellent written and spoken English language skills;
• Residents must be eligible to apply for a J-1 clinical visa. If you are a dual citizen of the United States and Saudi Arabia, or have a green card, this does not apply.
